Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR)! |
---|
Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our project's scope is women's representation on all language Wikipedias (biographies, women's works, women's issues, broadly construed). Did you know that, according to Humaniki, only 19.92% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women? Not impressed? Content gender gap is a form of systemic bias, and this is what WiR addresses. We invite you to participate, whenever you like, in whatever way suits you and your schedule. Editors of all genders are equally and warmly welcome at Women in Red! |
Welcome!

In August 2019 Women in Red is focusing on women from recently established countries, especially those formed since the year 2000. These include East Timor (2002), Eritrea (2002), Ethiopia (as a republic 2002), Kosovo (2008), Montenegro (2006), Palestine (2007), Saudi Arabia (establishment of First Saudi State 2000), Serbia (2006), South Sudan (2011), Sri Lanka (independence from the UK 2009), Sudan (2010), and Ukraine (independence from Russia 2014). Several ex-Yugoslavian countries were established in the 1990s, including Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992), Croatia (1991), North Macedonia (1991) and Slovenia (1991). The former Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993. The following declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1990: Latvia, Lithuania and Moldova; and in 1991: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women in all fields of interest in various countries, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in our initiative. You are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.
The main goals of the event are:
